" Roman Glass Cufflinks - Rectangular " Item #
RGC2
$ 135.00
The glass used in these cufflinks is excavated from
archeological sites in Israel dating back to the Roman
period almost 2000 years ago. These sites are in areas not far from
Jerusalem. Israel was a major glass-making
center because of its strategic location on the Mediterranean coast. Each
piece of glass was once part of a plate,
vase or other common household glass object. All were originally
hand blown. Although each piece of glass has a
different color, after years of being buried deep in the mineral rich soil it
develops shades of blues, greens, and other colors
resembling opal when the fragments are melted together. The oxidation
forms a patina layer on the glass creating
the colorful result you see here. Each pair of cufflinks is made entirely of ancient
glass and solid sterling silver.
The Roman Glass Company is licensed by the Israeli Government Antiquities
Authority to work with glass fragments.
The glass is genuine and comes with an official Certificate of Authenticity.
Each set of cufflinks arrives gift boxed.
